Those born under the sign of the bull are said to be very patient and reliable. They tend to excel in business, are somewhat introverted but social and pay a great deal of attention to detail. On the negative side, they can be stubborn. over indulgent and somewhat self centered.


To get a clue about what sort of Jewelry to choose for your Taurus friend let's have a look at some of these Zodiac facts about the star sign:

• Their astrological color is green
• Gemstone is the blue sapphire and diamond
• Flower is the daisy or rose
• Symbol is the bull
• Lucky numbers are 1 and 9
• Lucky color is blue
• Best location is someplace quiet.

Combining some of these traits leads me straight to this lovely pair of earrings from Sarah Coventry called "Daisy Time." They have 9 stones, are both green and blue and are daisies. They are just perfect! These earrings are book pieces from the 1970s and are available on my Lane site for only $15.25.

Diamonds may be out of the picture for your price range, but clear rhinestone jewelry might be a perfect replacement for your Taurus friend. They give the same sparkle and fire of diamonds without the hefty price tag. This pretty diamante rhinestone pin combines the look and the lucky number 9 since it has 9 perfectly set clear rhinestones in a domed setting.

This lovely pin has a riveted back construction which dates it to about the 1950s. It's available for only $17.99.

Do you want to combine the favorite location (someplace quiet) and the astrological color into a gift for your Taurus friend? I've met many Tauruses who like to mediatate. This green Oriental bamboo pendant necklace may be just the gift idea.


The styling of it fits right into the meditation mood and the color is perfect. It's also available on Lane for $17.99. It's a big piece measuring 3 3/4" long and has a lovely Oriental inscription on it.

This blog post is another in my series about choosing jewelry suitable for individual star signs. Aries is the star sign for those born between March 21 and April 19. Tomorrow starts the new star season, so today's post will help you with some jewelry choices for this star sign.

Those born under the sign of the ram are said to be courageious, enthusiastic, generous and optimistic. On the negative side, they can be short tempoerd, impulsive, impatient and somewhat self involved.

To get a clue about what sort of Jewelry to choose for your Aries friend let's have a look at some of these Zodiac facts about the star sign:

• Lucky numbers are 6 and 7
• Best locations are big cities
• Their zodiac symbol is the ram
• The flowers associated with this sign are tulips, any thorn bearing flower such as roses, hollyhock, geraniums and impatiens.

Combining these ideas gives me some inspiration for jewelry for your Aries friend. The first one that comes to mind is this Trifari Ram necklace made of intaglio reverse cut glass. It is simple, doesn't have the zodiac sign printed on it as some zodiac jewelry does and feels cold and natural on the neck. The Aries ram zodiac pendant necklace is available on my Vintage Jewelry Lane site for only $19.99.

If the actual zodiac piece doesn't appeal to you, how about this lovely carnelian banded pendant necklace. It is set in goldtone and is a lovely earthy red color which would appeal to aries personalities. You could team it up with this stunning caged gemstone bracelet which has carnelian nuggets of the same shade.

The red carnelian necklace and caged carnelian gemstone bracelet are both available in Carolina Collections Vintage Jewelry. The necklace is available for $11.25, and the bracelet is only $8.50.
